Life changes brought on some motivation to make a new song. Lots of happiness has been filled in my life and some good things are possibly about to take place. Finally, I feel like I'm on a better track.

I thought this was quite good, I especially liked the opening, and your use of snares was definitely the main good part of this track.
Mastering seemed mostly good, but it seemed a bit too loud on the lower frequencies, but that could be just my speakers.
I'm not a huge fan of the kick used here no offence. It feels a bit too deep compared to the rest of the song, and would have preferred a slightly quieter and higher kick. That's my only issue though.
So a good 4/5, would listen again. :)

Good to hear from you again!
The snare was probably my favorite part as well, because it's playing the whole time, but it makes a "sneak peek" at the end of every 8 bars.
I really did unfortunately master this one to have peaking lows... I'm constantly looking for ways to make each song sound good with my sub woofer in my car, and I cannot find a decent way of doing so.
The kick honestly is high pitched! Haha, what you're hearing is the bass line play for an eighth note over each kick. The bass line really does sound too deep, so I can agree to that as well. Also, the bass line played different pitched notes every eighth, and it just sounds distorting sometimes... Whatever though, it happens.
Thanks for reviewing yet another of my songs! I really do appreciate it, and I'm continually glad that you like both songs you've reviewed!
